Обсуждение: contrib regression on old versions

We only have a couple of buildfarm members reporting on versions older 
than 7.4. Both are RedHat based systems, and both fail the contrib 
regression suites.

I'm inclined to have write these off as not worth fixing, and inhibit 
contrib regression tests for versions older than 7.4. in the next 
release of the buildfarm code. And unless we want to fix them maybe we 
should also say the same for 7.4.

Thoughts?

cheers

I'm inclined to wonder why people want to run daily tests on dead
branches in the first place ;-)

I don't believe in having the code hide the failures, though.

Unless you explicitly force it, buildfarm will not run a test unless 
there is a change on the branch being tested. I am trying gently to 
persuade the buildfarm owners not to use the force flags.
